                <p class="smallfont">I am a graduate student working in the Data Mining Research Lab at University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. My primary area of interest lies in the field of 'Social Computing'. Social Computing is about analyzing massive online social networks that exist within Massively Multiplayer Online Games, and social networking applications like Facebook and Twitter. Social Computing involves adapting as well as developing new data mining techniques to extract useful metrics/characteristics from the voluminous data generated by the online social networks.

Currently, I am working with Karthik Subbian (under the guidance of Prof. Jaideep Srivastava) towards developing the concept of an aggregated Social Capital Value (which will be a single numeric value) for an entity in a given social network. This value will be based on various relationships an entity participates in, and we will justify our notion for social capital value using concepts from cooperative game theory, like Myerson Value.</p>
<p class="smallfont">I received undergraduate degree in Computer Science from NMIMS University, Mumbai in May 2010. After that I worked for a year as a Software Engineer at Metacube Software Pvt. Ltd., Jaipur, where I was engaged in developing tools, frameworks and application of Google App Engine using Java.

				I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Computer Science department at the University of Minnesota (UMN). 
				I primarily work on research problems in the areas of Machine Learning,  Data Mining, Large Scale Social Media and Social Network Analysis. Prior to UMN, I was working at Business Analytics and Mathematical Sciences (BAMS) group at IBM TJ Watson Research Center.
